Sorted that way ironass, cheers :)

I used to have the word "Goal" announced by a sound effect downloaded from Zedge when a team scored to notify me of said goal in the betting app (Bet365) when I had my Huawei P20 Pro. Now, on the Samsung S20+ there seems to be no way of getting it to happen - the app doesn't allow it in it's...

Yeah, wired is my usual way of course like most of us. I'm a bit miffed though that after just 4 months the so called more reliable USB-C has broken. Not what I expect from a flagship build phone.

So it is charging at the best it can... Thanks Spook. :) Paul.

I have a faulty USB-C on my S20+ which needs to go in for repair when I get the chance (when I have some time off work and won't need the phone as much) because the charging socket will no longer take the plug. So I need to charge the phone wirelessly. I bought this charger (see link) so I...

I have a dashcam that supports Alexa, but to do so, the S20 needs Alexa too of course. However, with Google Assistant, I just say "OK Google" and the phone responds as expected, but for Alexa to respond, the phone seems to need the Alexa app actually showing on the screen. Not ideal when...

Our cat...

Just found some spiderlings on the concrete post of the garden fence - these are young orb web spiders. It's a tragedy that the S20 series doesn't have a macro lens or dedicated function (other than zooming in, which is an awful way of getting close ups) - the quality of macro suffers greatly...

Ours is bagless too lol... He is a bit schizoid as well... In a morning (and last thing at night) he often comes to say hello as I lie in bed... headbutts galore as he gets attention. This can last for ten minutes - until he decides he has had enough, then he either jumps off the bed and goes...

Just half an hours fresh air. Back in work for another 10 hour day tomorrow...

This is a zebra spider (or some will call it a jumping spider - they don't use webs for food, they pounce on their prey) and is approx 5mm in size.

Used the Pro mode to try macro tonight - and got something that looks decent in the end. (S20+) Not sure why the forum has rotated the Yale Lock image through 90% though?

Agreed Mooncatt. I spent a lot of money on lenses when I had my DSLR. Including 4 macro lenses over the years. I'm not expecting the quality of a DSLR of course, but... One Plus 8 Realme Redmi Oppo and others. I believe even the Galaxy M31 and A71 have a dedicated macro mode from what I...

I would have thought that with Samsung aiming to be the world's best, they'd have all angles covered...

My old Mate 20 Pro had a macro mode as a preset, and a super macro mode. It wee's all over the S20+
